Why stay in Kensington:

To step into the Royal Borough of Kensington is to walk in the footsteps of Kings and Queens, writers and revolutionaries, politicians and painters, thinkers and thespians.
This premier residential district was once a country village favoured by the wealthy. It retains its exclusivity and is home to a Royal palace and London's foremost museums.

Kensington is within the area of Holland Park Avenue, Earls Court, Royal Albert Hall and Kensington Palace. There are numerous places to visit such as The Natural History Museum, Royal Albert Hall, Kensington Place, Victoria & Albert Museum, Science Museum and Linley Sambourne House (Punch Illustrator) which will give you the perfect view of a Victorian house.

Another place to visit is the Kensington Roof Gardens which is a must see, the grade II listed art deco building with a roof garden which covers 1.5 acres. The gardens are split into three with English, Formal Spanish and Tudor styles and this is a perfect place to relax and get away from the bustling streets of London.

Famous department stores such as Harrods and Harvey Nichols are close by in Knightsbridge which are a short walk from Knightsbridge tube station. If you still want to shop The Kings Road and High Street Kensington are also located in this part of London and have all the high street stores you could wish for.

We very much enjoyed our stay in London. The Thurloe Square flat was great.
Thanks so much of accomodating us regarding the change in the rental units. I realize that
you did not have to do that. Everyone we dealt with at Home to Home was fanatastic. Both
taxi drivers were exceedingly friendly and helpful.
I will certainly recommend the company to anyone looking for lodging arrangements in
London.

We truly enjoyed our stay in South Kensington. The location is excellent, and the flat was comfortable and roomy for the four of us.

The Thurloe Square flat (8) was very convenient. Maybe some curtains or shades in the living room... generally not too much of an issue given the high location of the flat and being on the square, just a suggestion.
Bonus, we could see the very top of the downtown fireworks display on New Years eve from the windows!

Thurloe Square is a terrific location and we really enjoyed our time in London. The flat is nice and spacious, and having two full bath/shower rooms was wonderful. Your staff were extremely friendly, helpful, and responsive, both during the booking process and when we were in London. We called for extra keys and towels the first morning and received them promptly. The taxi drivers were friendly and helpful, especially Cyril. We'll be in touch again the next time we visit. Thank you!

A number of the lamps needed new lightbulbs as they had blown. These were replaced quickly so it was not a problem for long.
I really enjoyed my stay and hope to use your company again
